A Response to Tragedy Ezekiel 24

2
The word of the Lord came to me: “Son of man, behold, I am about to take the delight of your eyes away from you at a stroke; yet you shall not mourn or weep, nor shall your tears run down. Sigh, but not aloud; make no mourning for the dead. Bind on your turban, and put your shoes on your feet, do not cover your lips, nor eat the bread of men.” So I spoke to the people in the morning, at evening my wife died. And on the next morning I did as I was commanded.

3
And the people said to me, “Will you not tell us what these things mean for us, that you are acting thus?” Then I said to them, “The word of the Lord came to me; ‘Say to the house of Israel, Thus says the Lord God; Behold, I will profane my sanctuary the pride of your power, the delight of your eyes, and the yearning of your soul, and you sons and your daughters whom you left behind shall fall by the sword.

4
And you shall do as I have done; you shall not cover your lips, nor eat the bread of men. Your turbans shall be on your heads and your shoes on your feet; you shall not mourn or weep, but you shall rot away in your iniquities and groan to one another. Thus shall Ezekiel be to you a sign according to all that he has done you shall do. When this comes, then you will know that I am the Lord God” – Ezekiel 26:16
